    Hello,

    I’m considering using your plugin, but first I have two questions which I didn’t see covered in the description of your plugin, so I am asking here:

    1) Is your Anti-Spam system compatible with caching plugins? In other words, if the comment form is found on a cached post or page, will your Anti-Spam system work as it would normally? Same question for cached contact forms…

    2) Does your Anti-Spam system operate entirely locally, without leaving my own server? In other words, can I be assured that the comments and metadata of my visitors won’t be shared either with you or with any third party?

    Thank you in advance!

    The free community version only handles comments so I will answer that here. For contact forms that is a pro feature and forum rules do not permit pro pre-sales support but you are welcome to ask on https://fullworksplugins.com

    Yes, it should do, but always worth testing.

    2) Does your Anti-Spam system operate entirely locally, without leaving my own server? In other words, can I be assured that the comments and metadata of my visitors won’t be shared either with you or with any third party?

    Correct. As written in the readme “This free plugin does not collect, process or send any website visitor personal data anywhere”

    In future versions there will be an opt-in ( as per ww.wp.xz.cn guidelines ) to be able to share spam / ham data from contact forms, but the default will always no sharing. ( or it wouldn’t be allowed here )

    Thought I’d share this screenshot from my own site stats, my own site is heavily cached with Litespeed Cache and QUIC-CDN

    The ‘Comments-Bot’ stopped is the ‘free’ component – as you can see itis letting very few through to the next level
